The Ultimate Bedugul Highlands Day Tour Itinerary

The Ultimate Bedugul Highlands Day Tour Itinerary

08:00 AM – Hotel Pick-Up

Your driver will meet you at your hotel lobby. Heading up to the Bedugul region early is highly recommended to catch the clearest mountain views before the afternoon mist rolls in.


09:30 AM – Stop 1: Ulun Danu Beratan Temple

This is Bali’s iconic "floating" temple. Situated on the shores of Lake Beratan, this important water temple looks as though it is floating on the water when the lake levels are high. Dedicated to the lake goddess Dewi Danu, it is surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and framed by misty mountains.

  • Signature Highlights: The stunning 11-tiered meru (shrine) on the water's edge and peaceful boat rides on the lake.

  • Atmosphere: Crisp, cool mountain air and deeply spiritual surroundings.

  • Pro-Tip: The morning is the absolute best time for photography here, as the water is calm and the sky is usually clear.

11:30 AM – Stop 2: Candikuning Traditional Market

Located just a short drive from the temple, this vibrant local market is the perfect place to experience daily Balinese commerce. Because of Bedugul’s rich, volcanic soil, the area is famous for agriculture.

  • What to See/Buy: Wild orchids, fresh strawberries, local spices, hand-woven crafts, and souvenirs.

  • Local Treats: Try the fresh-cut fruits or local snacks like lemet (sweet cassava cakes).

  • Pro-Tip: Don't be afraid to politely barter for souvenirs here; it is expected!

12:30 PM – Lunch Overlooking Lake Beratan or Rice Terraces

Enjoy a buffet or a la carte lunch at a local restaurant nearby. Many restaurants in the area offer sweeping panoramic views of either the lake or the lush valleys below.

02:00 PM – Stop 3: Bali Botanic Garden (Kebun Raya Bali)

As the largest botanical garden in Indonesia, this massive green sanctuary stretches across 157 hectares on the slopes of Mount Pohen. It is a peaceful escape featuring a blend of scientific research, conservation, and vast open lawns perfect for walking.

  • Signature Highlights: The giant banyan trees, the specialized orchid house, the traditional Balinese statue displays, and the cactus greenhouse.

  • Activities: You can leisurely walk through the towering rain forests or rent a golf cart/bicycle to explore the expansive grounds.

04:00 PM – Stop 4: Jatiluwih Rice Terraces (Optional Add-on for Sunset)

On your way back down from Bedugul, you can make a stop at the breathtaking Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It offers a much larger and less crowded alternative to Tegallalang, displaying centuries-old traditional Balinese irrigation (subak).

  • Signature Highlights: Endless, undulating green terraces that stretch all the way to the ocean.

  • Activities: Take a gentle 30-minute walk through the fields to watch the sunset over the valley.

05:30 PM – Head Back to Hotel

Relax in your vehicle as your driver takes you back down to the southern coast or Ubud, arriving in the evening.

Essential Travel Tips for This Tour:

  • Bring a Jacket: Bedugul is located at a high altitude (around 1,500 meters above sea level). The temperature can drop significantly, especially if it rains or gets cloudy.

  • Dress Code: When visiting Ulun Danu Beratan, your shoulders and knees should be covered. Sarongs are usually available to rent or borrow at the entrance.

  • Cash is King: Keep Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) cash handy for entrance tickets, market purchases, and parking fees.

Welcome To Private Bali Tour

    A   Private Bali Tour   is a fully customized, private travel service where you hire a local driver and a private vehicle (usually an air-conditioned car or minivan) exclusively for yourself, your family, or your group. Unlike standard group tours where you share a bus with strangers, a private tour gives you complete control over your itinerary, pace, and schedule. Key Benefits of a Private Bali Tour 100% Flexible Itinerary:  You can choose exactly where you want to go—whether it’s mixing waterfalls, temples, or beaches—or you can use a pre-made itinerary (like the Bedugul, Nusa Penida, or Dolphin tours) and modify it on the fly.
